The guy just doesn’t fit in. He needs to quit now in order to explore great new opportunities for the sake of the children. Chicago’s Police Superintendent Garry Francis McCarthy, known lovingly as McStreetlights, was hand picked by Mayor Rahm “Tiny Dancer” Emanuel to do something about Chicago, a city whose kill stats are worse than those of Afghanistan. In a stunning panoply of ironic details, the man blew in from NYPD’s CompStat program, moved over to Newark, then sent letters to Chicago gang bangers, telling them in essence that he knew where they lived and to have a nice day. Can you imagine?
“CompStat, according to Wiki, is a multi-layered dynamic approach to crime reduction, quality of life improvement, and personnel and resource management by which Geographic Information Systems are used to map crime and identify problems.” Are you kidding me?
To get a clue, here’s a new homework assignment in which some street vernacular is necessary: “Chicago ain’t no New York; ain’t now’ never will be. Why is That?” Mailman McCarthy’s sharp New York accent is music to the ears of hardened street thugs whose main...

McCarthy is the same idiot who recently said that present-day Americans should only be allowed to own muskets because that was the type of weapon owned by the founding fathers. This dolt is clueless.
So far I’ve been impressed with the new police chief in Detroit. Just the other day he cut the Mayor’s security detail from 20 officers to 6 officers. He’s also ordered his police to stop sending whole precincts to investigate break ins when 2 to 4 officers is sufficient.
Just another Democrat political type implementing failed liberal policies and staying politically correct while they screw everything up.
Chicago needs to get rid of all the politicians and 99% of the useless bureaucrats.
I’d be kind of curious to know how much security Rahm Emanuel has.
Interesting question. I can’t find any report on the figures, but there is one story that 11 officers are suing because they were removed from his security detail and replaced by more politically correct (black) officers.
So evidently it’s more than 11. Probably quite a bit more, I’d guess.

Cops in Chicago are not responding ....
Local Chicago television carried a positively chilling interview with a young black woman whose close friends and relatives had just been gunned down. One brother died from a shot to the eye while the second apparently bled out from extremity wounds. “Bring in the national guard,” she said through her tears and outrage. “Search they (sic) homes,” she added, telling Chicago what needs to be done to stop a grinding violence responsible for the death of guilty and innocent alike on the South and West sides...
The gangs aren't just "part of the problem," as people are fond of saying. They're as essential a part of the city as the police and fire departments, the mayor's secretarial staff, the aldermen's gofers, et alia.
If you regard Chicago as a city, that makes no sense; if, however, you regard Chicago as a very large, deeply entrenched criminal enterprise, I believe you have to look at the gangs as key components of the whole operation. Chicago is an extortion operation; it's also an independent kingdom within the otherwise ordinary state of Illinois; it's also a narcotics state; it's also a collection of normally cooperative crime families; it's also a national political force with more power and influence every month.
First and foremost, the gangs are Chicago's narcotics delivery system. What would happen if the supply of narcotics suddenly vanished? What if pot, hashish, heroin, methamphetamines, cocaine, and the like suddenly weren't available? In the first place, a great many addicts would go crazy; in the second, a great deal of money would cease to make its way upward to the people in charge; in the third, new suppliers would rush to fill the market's vacuum, and "the streets would run with blood," as leftist extremists are fond of remarking à propos the very thought of citizens keeping and bearing arms. The Chicago narcotics market is worth hundreds of millions and more likely billions of dollars annually. Do you suppose the people at the top of the Chicago social and political pyramid don't know that? Don't regulate that market? Don't count on their income from it?
The narcotics trade presents an invisible, exceedingly steep tax paid by all the people at the bottom of the pyramid: the narcotics users themselves, obviously, as well as all the ordinary, law-abiding citizens who tolerate both the predations of the addicts and the city's refusal to take any meaningful action against the hugely profitable narcotics industry. Narcotics are a highly effective means of social control and an equally effective means whereby the poor stay poor and the well connected get richer.
Follow the money? You probably don't even need to do that much. Just think about the money for 30 seconds or so, and you'll see why the criminal gangs are an integral component of the entire criminal organization. How hard is that?
Your post has the potential to become a script for a great movie.
Ever since mayor Daley Sr., gangs have been an integral part of the democratic party. Luiz Gutuierez (spelling?) was an alderman of Chicago who started turning out votes for the dems by use of gang-bangers. Jeff Fort, the founder of the El Rukn’s also turned out votes. This was done through intimidation on the west and south sides. The Italian neighborhoods were mafia controlled, and they controlled the vote.
Incidentally, Moochelle has a long family history of ties to the El Rukn’s.
Now, it is an art form. Back in those days, it was just starting up, but now... it’s par for the course.
You will have gang members from a neighborhood go door to door “encouraging” you to “true the vote”. Heck, they even “offer” to get you to the polling place (hint hint, an offer you can’t refuse).
In return, these thugs get gub’mint jobs, and move on up the ranks of the D party. Very much like a typical gang, the more you bring in, the higher you move up.
The best producers become bosses, or alderman, or senators, or presidents. The lower producers are street hustlers.
It ain’t a black and white thing, it all started with The Machine and mayor Daley in the 60’s. A good book about it is called Clout. It’s about Daley and how he even got a president elected.
I think Coach is wrong on this one.
The news accounts are not doing a very good job of reporting on this program. Everything that I have read about these efforts is that they work. The letter is just one part of the program, where the emphasis is on the very small number of violent people who cause most of the violent crime and homicides. Here is a link telling how these work.
The NRA teamed with similar programs in project Exile:

The emphasis should always be on the bad guys instead of on the guns.
